a. 3946 Arthur Street, John Webber owner: Carrol McCain, the Appraiser, viewed the
property and advised the Council that there has been considerable water damage in
the basement of this house. She also noted that there has been damage to the garage.

agreed with this recommendation and thanked the Appraiser for her efficiency and
cooperation.
b. 4337 Fifth Street, Evelyn Portlance, owner: The Appraiser viewed this property
and recommended the classification be lowered on this property. This action would
reduce the valuation from $54,700 to $50,100.
c. University Heights, 40th and University Avenues, Gaughan Companies, owner: The
iounty Chief Appraiser, Ed Thurston advised the Council that this property had
een valued as if all units had been completed and sold. He explained that this
being a new plat all of the remaining parcels where units have not been sold or
finished should remain the same value for a period of three years. Only those
which have been sold should have been revalued. The Chief Appraiser has viewed
the parcels and made the necessary adjustments. A representative of the Gaughan
Companies agreed to the changes.
d. LaBelle Ill, 41st Avenue, Gaughan Companies, owner: After viewing the condos
it was determined that five remain to be sold or finished. Also, values have
changed in that the garages were originally valued with the units. The Chief
Appraiser noted that reduction will be made accordingly.
e. Hardee's, 5280 Central Avenue, North Central Foods, owner: The Chief Appraiser
viewed the file on this property and felt the value is just and it should remain.
f. 1313 - 1315 Circle Terrace, Duane Narog, owner: Mr. Narog sent a letter to the
Appraiser questioning the $86,500 valuation on this double bungalow. She viewed
the property and noted that there is a cellar-like area in the front of the build-
ing which is unusable because of water damage. She recommended decreasing the
value to $83,200.
Mayor Nawrocki inquired if Ed Thurston had any additional information regarding a
book containing parcel descriptions in the City. It was determined that computer
tapes with this information is available but that at the present time this infor-
mation is not in book form.
